    Tips

    January 16, 2023

    This is where the Ptarmigan Trail meets with the Loowit Trail and Monitor Ridge. If you plan to summit Mount Saint Helens, you continue along the rough Monitor Ridge. Keep in mind that you need a permit to do so.



    The Loowit Trail, however, circumfences Mount Saint Helens and leads you to the blast zone. It is 30 miles long, so it can be a great multi-day adventure. There is no permit needed to complete the Loowit Trail.
